On the latest NFL Players: Second Acts Podcast NFL MVP Shaun Alexander and eight-time Pro Bowler, Brian Urlacher join Peanut and Roman. Shaun opens up about the honor of having an award named after him and reflects on the significance of his legacy in the NFL. He shares his goal of chasing his favorite player, Barry Sanders' record of 99 rushing touchdowns, a pursuit that culminated in Shaun finishing his career with 100 rushing touchdowns. Shaun takes us back to one of the defining moments of his MVP career. Shaun recalls the memory of putting up 5 touchdowns in the first half against the Vikings and reveals what his motivation was for that extraordinary performance.
Then Peanut’s former teammate, Brian Urlacher joins the show. The guys take a trip down memory lane as they reminisce about their playing days in Chicago. Brian shares his favorite memory of Peanut from his rookie year, where Peanut left a lasting impression after going one-on-one versus Randy Moss. Then Brian shares the profound influence Peanut had on him and why he felt compelled to honor Peanut in his Hall of Fame induction speech.
